Synopsis

Excerpt from Monoscripts

His phrase is well-turned, he says things to make you think with out being sententious; and he uses the privilege of his scattered meditations, as Bacon called them, for suggestion, stimulation, pleasure. In an age when we read as we run or run away before we read these little essays have their special use, and many, dipping in to these pages, W111 get from them a good more than commensurate with the expended time. To all such readers gentle, dear, and kind is the volume addressed.

Product Description

Excerpt from Monoscripts Few words of English speech are more misused and misunderstood than the Essay. Often, perhaps most often, it is taken to mean a prose treatise, or dissertation, its objection information, its manner serious and its length formidable. But surely this is not the form which makes the Essay precious to those who cherish literature; not the essay of Montaigne and Bacon, of Sir Thomas Browne, and Steele, and Addison; of Lamb and Hazlitt and Stevenson.
